  • Apps for first gen Ipad??

    I have a first gen Ipad. Every time I try to install an app i get a message saying i must have ios 6 or higher. Seems like after paying 850 bucks i should be able to find apps after two years!!

    You could still get some apps in the app store. Some of them will require ios 6 or 7 only, as you said, but not all. Many of them still support ios 5.1.1 so make sure you update your ipad 1st gen to that (for example Good reader and Evernote's penultimate). Other apps do require ios 6 for their current version, but the developers will still give you the option to download the last version that was compatible with the ios version you have (apps such as Amazon kindle, facebook, twitter, gmail and google chrome are examples of this). If they do you should get the "download an older version" button when it tells you about the ios 6 requirement. Try these tips. They added some useful life to my ipad 1.

  • Can't download weather channel app to first gen iPad

    Question: What must I do to download the weather channel app to my first gen iPad with iOS 5.1.1. I keep receiving message "must update to iOS 6.0 or higher"

    Try this similar procedure that a user did on an iPad 1 to get Netflix.

    You should be able to install it. If the iBooks app isn’t in the purchase history of the iTunes account that is being used on it then try downloading the current version on your computer’s iTunes so that the app is in it. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it

    I have the same problem.  Yahoo Sportacular aborts every time I try to open it.  It attempts to load and then the device goes right back to the home screen.  The problem started April 26 after I switched leagues from NHL to NBA. Closing all apps and Restarting doesn't solve solve the problem.
    All other apps on the iPad work fine.  IPad2, OS6.
    Any other suggestions?  I suppose I could delete the app from the iPad and try re-installing it

  • Can't transfer iBooks pdfs from first gen iPad to new MacBook Pro

    I have a bunch of important pdf files on a first gen iPad (iOS 5.1.1) that I want to transfer to iBooks in a 13" MacBook Retina.
    In iTunes, choosing Devices >Transfer Purchases from My iPad isn't moving them over. I've been able to transfer all the non iBooks pdfs from GoodReader, etc. In iTunes, I can see them in the Books section of "On This iPad" but can't do anything but view info.
    In iBooks, choosing File >Move Books from iTunes isn't doing it either.
    Syncing warns me that it's going to delete the iPad files.
    I'd rather not pay for 3rd party software if I can avoid it.
    Thanks.

    No they're not in the iTunes library. Purchased titles transferred and a few other things but a bunch of DRM-free pdfs and DRM-free EPUBS won't Budge.
    "Or you don't see them with the iPad connected to the Mac, with iTunes running, the iPad selected under devices and then look in the books tab of iTunes on the right?"...
    No. However, if I go a couple tabs further to the right, to "On This iPad" and select Books in the left column, they're all listed. I just can't do anything but view their info or rate them.

    I have a First Gen IPad with IOS 4.3.2. It let's me manage my music and videos together in playlists.  Need a larger capacity IPAD, that allows me to manage playlists the same way. Need direction or help!
    Can't seem to find an IPAD that let's me control my playlists together...or let's me organize my videos (Karaoke) the way I want to.  Can someone help or direct me?
    Can't even find the old IPad for sale...I have a MB292LL with 4.3.2 (8H7)

    Here is a hint, google:
    ipad video playlists
    Found:
    This discusses some options.
    iOS 7 took away the ability to play videos continuously.
    Two stand-alone apps.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/video-playlist-manager-lite/id399302583?mt=8
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/joobik-video-playlist-player/id502325425?mt=8
    There was a hint of relabeling your videos to music video so you can use the itunes video playlists.
    I have not tried this.

  • I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button.  I have a wireless connection at home.

    I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button.  I have a wireless connection at home.  Is this a known bug?  What can I do?

    You maybe running low on memory since you are using the original iPad with iOS 5.1.1 and the iPad is crashing. This may help and it certainly won't hurt.
    Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Do this before you launch Safari again. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. You don't have to clear the history.

  • How do I delete apps. Of my iPad.

    How do I get apps. Off my iPad air permanently.

    You can't delete them as they are not stored in your iCloud account, they are stored in the App store.  What you are seeing are links to your previous purchases allowing you to redownload them if you ever want to.  Apple will not delete anything from your previous purchased list.

  • First gen iPad having problems after iOS5 update

    I have recently upgraded my first gen iPad to iOS5 (and subsequent update) and have had nothing but issues, sometimes to the point of making my iPad unusable with apps that take ten seconds to update (talking about even apple apps so it is not a third party issue), the system freezing up and not responding for well over ten seconds (example of this is while typing), and Safari crashing almost at least once an hour. I have rebooted the system numerous times and these issues have continued. I used to expect problems like this from Windows system, now it looks like I can expect the same from my Apple products as well.
    Anyone else having issues like this?

    Same problems here. Also browser issues, Safari (the worst), Atomic and Opera. Have tried every cache clearing and reset suggestion I can find. IOS 5 has been a royal pain. 5.01 didn't help anything here.

  • IOS 5 slowing down first-gen iPad? FIFA12

    Hey guys and girls.
    I'm relatively happy with iOS5 on my first gen ipad. Split keyboard is nice, iMessages too. But I've noticed one issue which is getting annoying. I recently got the FIFA12 game by EA and it ran very well. But after upgrading to iOS5, it is getting considerably slower on graphic-heavy situations. Like stadium lights and shadows at the end of the field.
    Has anyone else noticed iOS5 slowing down first generation iPads? Not only talking about FIFA 12 but maybe other games and apps as well?

    Hey Guys,
    I know this may not solve you're problems or make me all that popular, but 1), you gotta give the developers a bit of time to update and 2), what you are experiencing is common with first adopters. On older devices it makes a lot of sense to wait until the first update. By then you will know the issues and any Apple fixes.

  • IOS 5 Bricks First-Gen iPad

    Keyboard-based input on any website or app is useless as it causes the app to freeze and then crash. I thought my father was insane over his frustration; but having now researched the issue myself I see that it exists and is widespread. The iOS 5 update should never have been available to legacy iPad devices. Thanks for making my life a living ****, Apple. I know probably many people on this forum have invested tens of thousands of dollars individually on Apple devices over the years, this is by far the worst handling of any device I have ever owned.
    Time to Jailbreak unless there's an update to resolve this issue coming down the pipeline?---otherwise I'm tempted to use the iPad as a frisbee or doormat.
    Model: MC820LL

    My first gen iPad works ok, apart form being a bit slower that it was on iOS 4 and the occasional crash (maybe once a day) on Safari - I haven't had any crashes with other keyboard based apps such as Mail and Notes.
    Have you tried closing all apps completely and then doing a reset to see if that helps ? To close all apps : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    To reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    For Safari you could also try clearing its history and cookies/data via Settings > Safari

    You might, though, be able to keep using many of your apps in an older version that is compatible with ios 5.1.1.
    You might be able to use some older versions af apps. These links have information that can help you.

  • Why isn't there video clipping with iOS 5.1 on a first gen iPad?

    I have a first gen iPad and can find no way to clip (simple) a video. iMovie can't run, okay. So why isn't there even the usual, simple edit tool in the photo interface? It's ridiculous ... If the ultimate answer is either jailbreak or upgrade, then why buy Apple going forward?

    I have a first gen iPad ....... why buy Apple going forward?
    I also have a 1st gen and, I imagine unlike you, I just can't recall Apple as ever having advertised or promoted it as the perfect platform for video editing .. or, for that matter, ever having addressed that issue at all. I can't think of any apps that would have been able to do that sort of thing before the advent of the iPad2, either; why would there have been, seeing as how the 1 lacked a camera?
    I have no idea if any of the video editing apps now in the Store will work on the '1' model, but wouldn't be too surprised if they did not. There has to be a miniscule market for that.
    Ah well. You've made up your mind about not buying Apple in the future, right? I really have no interest at all in trying to change your mind.

  • My photos that I've saved onto my first gen iPad aren't syncing from reset

    So I 'Reset All Settings' on my first gen iPad to alleviate the whole crashing to the home screen thing. And after I went through the process of setting everything up and choosing to backup from an iCloud backup made today, my photos aren't syncing. Neither is my music and my apps are staying on half percent complete. One went from syncing to saying it was waiting.
    Is there anyway to remedy this? Anyone else had this problem?
